Despite denying any trouble in paradise earlier this year, Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis confirmed in a statement that they have split after 14 years together.

The couple never married but have two children together, Lily-Rose, 13, and Jack, 10. Their rep asks the press to respect their privacy “and, more importantly, the privacy of their children.”

Depp and Paradis, a French singer and actress, had not made a joint red carpet appearance in at least a year and a half when rumors caught fire in January that the two had ended their relationship. But as recently as May, Depp was denying tales of a split: “They are absolutely not true," he said on the "Dark Shadows" red carpet. "No matter what I say about this, people believe the opposite. I can’t say enough about it not being over.”
